Title: NGD - Player strat.
Post by: Willybomb on September 17, 2021, 01:11:41 PM
Decided to stop mucking around with cheap second hand guitars and get a quality workhorse. Sold a stack of pedals, pickups, a guitar, and here we are.... Fender Player Strat, plek'd and all....

I'll mod it of course, but it doesn't need that much.  I have a set of Lace Sensors (Red dually, silver, blue), I'll probably get some locking tuners, and I'm definitely going to replace the saddles with solid somethings as I hate the height screws in the bent steel digging into my hand.  The volume knobs on the normal strat is in a stupid place, so I'll do something with that too (I also have a pickguard with no control holes on the way from alibaba)...

But yeah, great guitars.

Nice one. Can't go wrong with a solid strat. I also don't like the knob placement but I got used to it I guess

I ride the volume control like a tilt-a-whirl so I like the stock placement but yeah, I get it. Very cool looking guitar.

I second this 109%. Maple necks are the best. And a quality Strat is the best as well. Put a Dimarzio Air Norton in that bridge position with a 3-way Series-Parallel-single switch and ditch the other positions.
You're welcome.
